It's a fairly silly "modern Christian revelation" from the 1930's.  It seems
to be geared for people who think being normal is a blow to their ego, but
nonethless have essentially popular tastes.  This mildly heretical book
allows them to be weird while remaining conceptually firmly in the
mainstream.  Incidentally, one of the "modern" ideas the Book did NOT include
was that of tolerance for non-monotheists....
